This fateful event however brought the issue of animal rights and welfare once again into the limelight.  Most of the people are often mistaken when the topic is about Animal Welfare, as for them welfare is all ab

  Abstract: The issue of fake sexual violence and dowry cases are increasing. If all the laws will only protect women from their perpetrators, then what about men? Who will shield them? What happens to our justice delivery mechanism and the policy of "fair access to justice" when the lives of hundreds of innocent men are ruined on account of fake accusations. This article talks about how the benevolent provisions of law which were made to shield women are used as a weapon; how  difficult it is for our society and authorities to think about Male rights and their protection, as we have seldom given a thought about it. Why is it so hard to believe that a Man can never be wronged? Why they are only thought to be the wrongdoers and not at the receiving end? And many more such questions are waiting for being answered. The Constitution of India provides Right to Equality as a Fundamental right, but what happens to the rights when a false case is filed against a man? The media trial

If the Moon can get over shadowed by eclipse, it is still a law! Yes! Just like the beautiful moon gets overshadowed many times in a calendar year just to remind us that to every bright side there is a dark one, which is inevitable and hard to ignore. This doctrine similarly functions to overshadow the delusional dark side and helps to safeguard the Fundamental Rights of the citizen. The Doctrine of Eclipse has been enshrined in the supreme law of land The Constitution of India in article 13. Constitution is the prominent law book which tries to strike equilibrium between the state and it’s citizen, so that those in authority and powerful position do not try to invade the rights and liberty of their fellow citizens. Everyone is subjected to follow the provisions of the Constitution; to see that it does not become stagnant certain principles have been devised in order to guide policy makers and safeguard the inalienable rights of the citizen. One such principle is the Doctri

Introduction : When the whole country was asleep after battling another day with the fatal COVID-19 pandemic, a village and almost a dozen of its people fell prey to a deadly gas leak. Several succumbed to death and hundreds were admitted to the hospital. No one could have wondered, that a factory existing there for decades could do such harm. In the wee hours of March 7, a toxic gas and benzoic compound "Styrene" leaked in the Venkatapuram Village from LG polymer factory situated near the village. The village is in Vishakhapatnam (Vizag) located in Andhra Pradesh.

                      “Justice has always  evoked  ideas of equality, of proportion of compensation. Equity signifies equality. Rules and regulations, right and righteousness are concerned with equality in value. If all men are equal, then all men are of the same essence, and the common essence entitles them of the same fundamental rights and equal liberty...” In short, justice is another name of liberty, equality and fraternity. – Dr. BR. Ambedkar The above quote of Dr. Ambedkar clearly illustrated his vision of social justice which emanated from his longing for a just society which was established on the idea of a casteless society. The life of our father of Constitution is saga of his ascent from dust to glory and from the lowest hierarchical structure to the role of  architect of Indian Constitution. The Indian society has invariably been caste-ridden even after seventy years of our Constitution coming into force caste factor is dominant in every realm of life. Befor
